Audition?

Post by Naturality » Sat Nov 25, 2006 5:12 pm

I was wondering if anyone has played one of these 60s/70s critters, I've seen quite a few on the bay and was wondering if they're any good?

the bodys are typically plywood, but the pickups sound pretty neat and the necks are usually very comfortable in my experience.  I love em.  In fact, one pretty darn similar to that is one of my big go-tos right now.  Killer slide guitars too.

hahahah, actually, the ones I have owned and own have quite decent action surprisingly.  The one I have now, which may actually be a teisco now that Im thinking of it, has action as good as many mustangs Ive played.  the stock tuners are complete shite though.

It's obviously not going to be perfect for that price

yeah, it does. I was just thinking that it might need an electronis overhaul and it could be interesting to do some small mods to it.

I wish this listing wasn't over so soon, I could have bought it later in the week :(

I hate it when that happens. I nearly won this really nice Jag but it ended while I was at school and they outbid me.
